This episode has been cursed from the get go! Made the recording happen, the audio was terrible for some unknown reason and then Jen edited it but never published it before leaving for Mexico.  So, without further ado, here it is published from Mexico  - we tried hahaha.

The following episode description was written by AI.  Verdict?  Not bad lol.

Ever found yourself chuckling over a quirky tale of octopus affection, or feeling a kinship with a certain lovable Murderbot? Welcome to our three-year anniversary bash of 'In Her Good Books', where this episode is brimming with reflections and recommendations that span the literary spectrum. Our walk down memory lane isn't just about nostalgia—it's a celebration of last year's reading escapades, the highs and lows of our literary conquests, and the setting of fresh, realistic reading aspirations for the year ahead. They say variety is the spice of life, and our bookish buffet ranges from Terry Pratchett's fantastical 'Going Postal' to the haunting queer insights in 'It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror'.

Curl up and join our candid conversation as we discuss those reads that left us spellbound and others that... well, let's just say they fell short of our book club's expectations. Whether it's expressing our strong opinions on a disappointing Nutcracker retelling or sharing our quest for 'big reading' with esteemed classics, our discussion is as diverse as our bookshelves. We tackle the art of purposeful reading and the charm of revisiting the novels we adore, reveling in the chance to explore these stories with newfound depth and appreciation.

And as we head into the new year with books stacked high and reading challenges gleaming on the horizon, we invite you to debate and discover right alongside us. From our musings on Stephen King's "Holly" to our lively critiques of 'The Spirits Up', we're dishing out all the insights you need for your next literary adventure. Don't miss out on our excursion into book club drama, our plans for a revitalizing kid-free vacation to Mexico, and the anticipation of good things yet to come. Pull up a chair, because this episode is your ticket to a community where every page turned is a celebration of the stories that bind us.

AI Description.  Enjoy.

Ever wondered how to picture a character with a made-up name in your head? Join us as we tackle this challenge and more in this episode filled with book recommendations, reviews and personal tales. We delve into the intense and emotional narrative of 'Those Girls' by Chevy Stevens, closely followed by the chilling 'Maeve Fly' by CJ Leed, which despite its violent content takes you on an emotional roller coaster. As we explore these gripping stories, we share our thoughts on their themes and writing styles.

We then turn our focus to the Duggar family, as we discuss their reality show '19 Kids and Counting,' and Jill Duggar’s memoir 'Counting the Cost.' We unravel the truth behind the family’s belief system and Jill's brave decision to forge a different path. Balancing things out, we also dive into the 'Themis Files' trilogy, sharing our insights about the books' unique narrative style. Shifting gears, we express our views on 'Whalefall' by Daniel Crouse, appreciating its quality of writing but discussing our difficulty in connecting with the story due to its focus on the protagonist's emotional journey.

Finally, we reveal our Halloween preparations, discussing spooky treats and story time events for our book club. We also unveil our plans for an Etsy shop, built on my newfound love for crocheting. Be sure to follow us on our social media platforms to stay updated on our latest crafts. Join us for this thrilling episode filled with captivating discussions, personal anecdotes, and exciting plans.
